Spartacus gets an introduction to life in the Ludus, we see more of Batatius
and Lucretia, introduced to the rest of the Gladiators in the Ludus and away we
go. Many thanks to Starz Entertainment for the chance to review this episode.

If I spoil this episode, lots and lots of people will be unhappy. I've been
playing 'let's see how long I can go without seeing episode 2'. I've lasted two
days. Not bad. Having just finished watching this episode I will make this
prediction. There will be a great deal of artwork produced by fans from this
show (and I'm not talking about naked people). The visuals in this show are
incredible. The last time I had this creative reaction to a tv show was Xena.

I'm writing this review (without spoilers) after watching the first
Spartacus: Blood and Sand episode via Starz. Many thanks to Starz for giving me
the opportunity.

Betrayed by his country. Beaten into slavery. Reborn as a warrior.
Spartacus: Blood and Sand is a graphic and visceral account of Rome's most
famous gladiator. When he's separated from the love of his life, Spartacus is
forced into the gruesome and bloodthirsty arena, where a grisly death is
primetime entertainment. Spartacus must fight for survival, befriend his enemies
and play politics in this new world of corruption, violence, sex and fame. He'll
be seduced by power and tormented by vengeance. But his passion will give him
the strength to prevail over every obstacle, in this modern and uninhibited tale
of death, honor and endurance.

Starring Australian actor, Andy Whitfield (McLeod's Daughters) as Spartacus,
Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess) as Lucretia, John Hannah (The Mummy, Four
Weddings and A Funeral) as Batiatus and Peter Mensah (300, The Incredible Hulk)
as Doctore, this unique mix of live action, graphic novel effects and brutal
battle sequences is set to make Spartacus: Blood & Sand an epic television
event.
